To Infinity and Beyond! Buzz Lightyear Blasts Off

Disney's co-opting of today's Discovery launch to promote a Disney World ride is a bit sketchy, but c'mon. Buzz Lightyear actually blasting off? That's pretty cool.

One of the closest things to Disney World's Orlando, Fla., home, is NASA's Kennedy Space Center, and this is relevant because on Friday, it was announced that among the objects expected to be blasted into the sky with the planned Saturday launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery is a figurine of Toy Story space ranger Buzz Lightyear.
I'm trying to picture the paperwork involved in getting a toy onto the Space Shuttle.

jordan, I like this story. It's good stuff.  It very well could start a new generation of space exploration.
